Today I finally decided to upgrade my graphics card, the only thing keeping me back from current gen PC games. Everything was going fine until I had to take out the current graphics card, an ATI Radeon X800. After removing the screw I then tried to take it out of the slot (like anyone else would do). However, it would not move. After about an hour of pulling and searching for what was holding it back (and it was only being held back on one side) I gave up.

If anyone has the slightest idea what might be wrong here I would greatly appreciate the help. It's just infuriating that I'm being prevented from the Orange Box by a problem that really shouldn't exist.

Well. . . I got it out, then I realized that the graphics card wasn't fit for an AGP slot. Ungh, this just isn't my day. Thanks again to you guys for your help. I just kinda wish I wasn't such a noob at computer hardware.

You'll learn, it just takes time and experience. You've already learned the difference between AGP and PCI express, and you've learned how to remove a gpu!
